Rename an existing reference.
This method works for both direct and symbolic references.
The new name will be checked for validity. See git_reference_symbolic_create() for rules about valid names.
If the force flag is not enabled, and there's already a reference with the given name, the renaming will fail.
IMPORTANT: The user needs to write a proper reflog entry if the reflog is enabled for the repository. We only rename the reflog if it exists.
